PROSPECTUS. the " London and Venezue'a Bank" has for its proposed erations a ground unoccupied. and is most urgently re ired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for 1 " months, and the project has been sub nitted to the 4 gment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and met with their unq ,, alified approval. Support is promised highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured at the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by e Government. Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre ntatives of the Proprietors in the "Bank of Caracaa," have fined the Board, and have undertaken, on the establishment the "Lond on a na Venezuela Bank," to close their esta- Ishment, a-d to transfer their busine , s to the present ra PanY. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto tasessed have been very limited, but the fast that the Ink of Caracas has -despite its restricted means—earned net profit exceeding 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no albt that the present undertaking will result in complete tccess. The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co., hile inviting tenders for th, Venezuelan Loan in June last, ill confirm the above statements : " At present there it almost an entire absence of banking nommodation inVeneitiela. Possessed of every advantage ' clim to and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englan , i, the cishing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the corn ,erce of the country, and to the increasing production and ipidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, COtton, hides, c. he advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all ther politically or financially interested in the prosperity of enezuela, anti as the rates of interest range from 10 to 15 er cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi erable," It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in teased and increasing demand for cap Aal for the cultivation cotton, which is now being exported to England in large Ilantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much Llgher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson. The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela occasions outmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling l e eig',ll bills, aid la , ge sums are made by private individuals , von, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must 'e induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt lig Profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup 'AY this want, and inasmuch as returns can be made with ,r greater rapidity from Venezuela than from India, where he introduction of bancing facilities of a like nature has peen found extremely profitable, it is certain that this >ranch of the proposed business must be still more remu le- ative. ,oTbe p - oducts of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco, 1-les, clividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense s an ety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its V fee is of the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On e now all important article "cotton," the following, from leading article in the `• Daily Telegraph" of tne lath Jann 4!Y, 1863, will be read with interest, particularly In conneo- Tn with ban , :ing and capit 1:—" From Venezuela the qua ds 'Od and usefuten t'. and some even of the mi wild plant is scribegd by4x , mpe judges as being like dd ing Orleans. :arcels imperfectly ginned have been recently sold in the Uverpool market at 28. and 2s. id. per lb.

This has been demonstrated by a'says of many spe einlens of gold, silver, copper, and lead which were sho an in the late Exhib tien. The principal control of the " London and Venezuela Bank" will be vested in the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications in Lon don, who on his arrival wi I have he assistance and advice of the Directors n Caracas and La Guayra, who are Euro peans of long r , sidence and high standing in the country, and w,ll known in connection with Venezuelan trade and finance, soon and Directors reserve to themselves the right to allot so rm and in su c h a manner as th ey d eem expe di en t.

This invaluable Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no parallel.

The state of parties in England at the present thy undoubtedly presents a very curious subject for speculation to those inclined to investigate the principles and guiding motives of political affAirs.

The elder brotner, John, afterwards withdrew from business, and retired to Exeter; whereupon Francis, then sole head of the firm, wound up his old affairs and began devoting himself to banking , transactions. He specu lated largely in Governer ant loans, and soon became the friend and financial adviser of the Premier,. Lord Shelburne, who used to style him the Prince of Merchants. Shelburne's successor, Williem Pitt, thought it necessary to gain the goodwill of Vac in fluential banker by the gift of a baronetcy, a ud on May 29,1793, Mr. Baring became Sir Francis Bar ing. The founder of the great banking house, born April 18, 1740, died Sept. 12, 1810, leaving behind him a fortune estimated at above two millions d ter. ling. Francis Baring in Lis own person was, Vi itia out comparison, the most successful accumulator of wealth produced in modern times. It is not without interest to follow the fort ones of the house of Baring for another generatio a or two. Sir Francis Baring, by his marriage to a niece of the Archbishop of Canterbury, left five : tons, the three eldest of whom—Thomas, Alexander,. and Henry—became partners in the banking establish ment. Sir Thomas withdrew from business coon after the death of his father, thinking it unbeeom.. ing in a baronet to be a banker, and Mr. Henry Baring likewise retired not long after for a very different reason. Henry Baring was passions tely addicted to gambling, which he carried on at a high rate at the Palais Royal, Paris, and other famous hells of the time, where his nightly appearance, with mountains of gold and hank notes before him, was the wonder of all beholders, He was by no meansan unlucky disciple of the rouge et-noir, for ha several times broke the Enterprise generale des jeux, carrying off sums which would have been princely fortunes to any but Barings. Notwithstanding this luck, his presence at the Continental gaming tables was naturally considered a ec Andel at the London banking-house of Baring Brothers, and, after some negotiation, Henry Baring - was hid aced to withdraw from the firm. There now remained, as head of the establishment, Alexander Baring, born October 27, 1774, and brought up in the hou! , e of Messrs. Hope. When the Messrs. Hope returned to England, in consequence of the occupation of Holland by the troops of revolutionary France, Alexander Baring left the establishment and went to the United States, where he married the eldest daughter of Mr. Wm. Bingham, then considered " the richest man in America," and who brought him a fortune of 900,000 dollars. Mr. Alexander Baring had no sooner become head of the house than he entered on a series of monetary operations on a gigantic scale and of Earopeen importance. The greatest of these—one of the greatest ever performed by a single banker--was, that he freed France trout t`.1,3 incubus of an cc3upration of Ru'isian, Prus. sian, and Austrian armies of 50,000 men etch, by the loan of a sum of 27,238,938 francs, or about £1,100,000 at 5 per cent. rente. This momen tons transaction occasioned the saying of the witty French Premier, the Duke do Richelieu :—" There are Biz great Powers in Earope—Eag',and, France, ilassia, Austrie., Pruss*3., and Baring Brothers." r BitiT7--"AeNalldc - r the k;:real" died at Longleot, Wilts, l‘f.3.ty 13, 184 S, having been elevated to the peeroge, under the title or Lord Ashburton, in 1835. He left. four Eons, the eldest of whom, William Bingham—who died but a few months ago—succeeded him in the family honours, while the second, Francis, born in May, 1800, took for a while the nominal direction of the firm. In this capacity he engaged in some remarkable trans actions. He purchased among others, the whole of the territory surrounding the lake Tezeuco, on the island of which stands the city of Moxice, and thus made himself, in a sense, master of the capital of a great country. The other members of the firm of Baring and Co. were, however, startled by the gigantic nature of the purchase, an d, after great efforts, managed to get rid of the supposed Frank enstein. Had they kept their purchase, who knows but that the "Notables," who recently sat in Imperial electoral conclave, might have chosen a member of the house of Baring, instead of the house of Haps, burg, to fill the throne of Mexico ?

Still, it has been argued in opposition to the first-mentioned idea, that although Liberals and Conservatives may not find very much to differ about seriously, the former are more inclined to concede to the wishes of the Democratic party, and that were the Conservatives to give way they would, little by little, pave the road for the accession to power and influence of such men as Bright and Cobden, or their friends of the un-English and unpatriotic Manchester school. If we admit this, we shall also acknowledge that there is good reason for keeping up the existing distinc tions of parties, and that even if there be not much to choose between the two, their maintenance in a state of vitality and activity is essential to the welfare and true interests of the nation. Among the Conservative party there is, without doubt, far less dissension and diversity of opinion than among those who sit on the Liberal side of the house, or support Liberal politics out of doors. Of course there are a few who are dissatisfied with the leadership of Mr. Disraeli, or even with that of Lord Derby—a few ambitious spirits who, with less experience and infinitely less brains, persist in con ceiving themselves to be the only true and fit re presentatives of the Opposition; but these men who are but little respected by anybody, are in a singu larly small minority, and on all important questions they will be found to vote with the remainder of the Conservative party. But how is it among the Liberals ? Take the example of the present Go vernment, and we shall find not only its supporters, but actually its members, voting on different sides, and entertaining such discordant opinions, that it is almost impossible for them to agree in bringing for ward any measure of importance without at least one or two of the Ministers resigning. Of course this is only the inevitable fate of every coalition Ministry; but it is owing to this fact that the present Govern ment is so weak, and commits so many and such serious errors. Those errors, moreover, are chiefly errors of non-commission, owing to the fact which we have stated, that they are unable to decide upon or adopt a course which will not be distasteful to some of the members. Lord Russell, once the leader of Reform, is now the apostle of "rest and thankfulness" for past favours; while Mr. Milner Gibson is hand-in-hand with the Reformers. Sir George Grey is all for the routine of the old Whig school; while Lord Palmerston himself, Mr Glad stone, Lord Clarence Paget, and others adopt a more reckless if not dangerous mode of procedure in State affairs. On Church matters, we witness Sir Roundell Palmer differing from Lord Shaftes bury, and some Ministers voting for Church Rates whilst others side with the Dissenters, and so on with regard to nearly every subject of any import ance which might be mentioned, we find them not only, disagreeing, but recording their votes against one another. The vote on Mr Baines's motion eingularly illustrated this discordance of sentiment and action. Lord Harrington, Sir It. P el, the Attorney-Gene ral. and others went out of the House, thus plainly showing their olj..7ctFon to the bill, while the re. mainder of the Ministers recorded their votes in its favour. Mr Gladstone's eprech on the occasion was a singular effusion, and one that laid him open to many imputations, which Mr Whiteeiae end those who succeeded the Chancellor of the Et• chequer were not slow to seize upon and utter. We can imegine the disgust of such men as Messrs Newdegate, Spooner, and other staunch anti- Reformers, who still maintained some reverence and liking for the right honourable gentleman, when they heard him make this, the final recanta tion, by which he took the last step down wards— the step which has so long and so anxiously been looked forward to by the extreme party, and so much dreaded by the moderate and respectable section. Mr. Gladstone has snapped the last tie which bound him to the constitutional parties in this king dom. Henceforth he can no longer hope to repre sent the University of Oxford, loose acd heterodoxi cal though its theolegy has almost become. He must bid adieu to his Church friends, and make common cause with the Dissenters and Radicals, with Baines and Bright, Forster and Stansfeld, and with the men whom he received the ether day — Odgers, Beales, and Co.—and who told him such unpleasant things. It has, indeed, been stated that the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was intended to act as a means of reviving his lest popularity with the working men, for whom he has always professed so much consideration and solicitude. This may be so, and there is at least no doubt that the working men of England are impressed with the firm conviction that Mr Gladstone was the person e s g g reat e Liberal o i ns t ru mental in forcing Garibaldi to de p art ; but we are inclined to belie ve that, a p art from this, Mr Gladstone had a h i g her and more im p ortant object in view, and that h e meant his s p eech to serve as capital on the hustings at th e next g en eral election, and also forerunner of o confidence would de c re o fh a e t f a r theer see speeches and measures which shall ultim at ely lthee gain their Clarendon la for ee a h r r . t o m y r , vL and or a their Granville — nay, r a ti v consentil e t ay o his even bec omingor d aesntithe certainlyrefi n Russell—the successor of Lord Palmerston than the present ia brill i ant Chancellor genies uf aand p the sparkling Exchequer, arkli spite a: n f h ng who, oratory, m net be quite the man to lead a numerous and restive body of politicians, or to guide the destinies of the country. If Mr. Gladstone ever becomes Premier of England, he will not receive the support of such men as Lord G r a nv ill e , Sir Charles Wood, Lord Hartingtoe, and Sir Robert Peel, who may be called the Conservative element in the present Ministry, but he will have to seek out the elements of his Administration among men who have not, and never will have, the confidence of the nation, or the slightest weight in influencing its opinions. We may then look forward to Government measures for introducing the ballot, expelling the Bishops from tle House of Lords, and universal suffrage, and then it may be that we may perhaps see a clear and defined line between the two great parties in the State—the Conservatives and moderate Liberals amalamated, on the one hand, to resist the e.n; eroach g ments and the dangerous schemes o f t h e Radicals on the other.

In this Pastoral, after the usual greetings, the Car dinal exhorts his flock to contribute towards the fund for erecting Roman Catholic churches and chools in the archdiocese, and then proceeds to speak thus upon the abovementioned more weighty matters:— our will, PHYSICAL SCIENCE VERSUS REVEALED RELIGION " We cannot shut our eyes to the aim or ten dency of modern science, which is to demand no equality, but supremacy ; not a fair balance, but a loaded scale, whenever it seems to come into comps , tition with the claims of revelation. The moment the two seem to contend, in disagreement, for the belief of man, science at once exacts that all else should give way ; and, unfortunately, too many yield at once and surrender at discretion. " The stump of a fossil tree, the bones of an ex tinct animal, a broken skull found in some inex plicable place, but requiring a solution equally from our assailants; nay a potsherd , a sea-shell, the piles of a lake village, the rudimen ts of stone instruments , all things—anything is heavy enough to turn the scale in favour of what is called reason. " And we are ridiculed as fearing or opposed to science, as narrow-minded and hood-winked bigots, for not at once adopting this confused mass of im mature geognosy, and sacrificing in honour of our acceptance, whatsoever has been to us venerable, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, whatsoever true and just, whatsoever has been hitherto to us the light of our eyes or the joy of our hearts, what has made us and kept us virtuous, hopeful, consoled, happy through our dark or rugged way on earth, and has sustained oar heads above the billows, and our souls above the troubles, the anxieties, and the anguishes of life. "We pause in vain. We are calmly and composedly placing in the opposite scale many and dear considerations. We have before us a prescriptive authority in records of several thousand years ago, discussed, disputed, and always victorious, running down a channel that seems scooped out for it through primaeval rivers, lined with monuments, be yond which man has left no articulate memorial, cuneform or hieroglyphic—all marvellously attesting, by consenting and concurrent testimony, the accuracy of those sacred volumes ; then interwoven with what the West considered ancient and the East modern, the annals of the Ptolemies and the Seleneidae, till the stream of primitive history, with its evidence of prophecy, still in course of verification, drops silently into that deeper, nobler, and more magnificent re servoir, where it minghs with the pure and living waters of a new dispenße.tion, whence it issues with all the new qualities—evidences, proofs, and applications which are concentrated here. " Here we meet with such a strange superhuman over weight of proof as seems to master every possible objection, and to leave no alternative for a second solution. For, in addition to all that miraculous works and prophetic sayings, and new moral precepts, a fresh philosophy, theology, and social code issuing from illiterate men, in the midst of a most brilliant age, and accepted ; we have to throw into the balance the vastest empire ever known, subdued when at its greatest height ; the entire world reformed, trans formed into a new condition by a new legislature, promul gated by ignorant men, propagated by poor men ; proved n d b yt men e i f i e n , o p : ri t s :e n r a a c n k d a i n n d the eth s a t n o d c k ip s r , °u s n s e d d e r ° t n h e a C s c e e et t r a g n e e a e gridiron—till the whole empire and the entire globe relied spontaneously to the feet of a Galilean crucified on the Janiculum. "Have we not a right to put all these grave and solemn considerations against a solitary cranium, an antiquated fishbone, or a fragment of pottery? Yet while we are doing so, comes in the sarcasm and the jeer that we are unscienti fic, anti• progressist, superstitiou s , and behind the age; and sharper than a two-edged sword, and heavy like that of Camillus, it is thrown into the opposite scale, as sufficient to make ours kick the beam. But no: eternal truth will still prevail, when temporal science shall have revised its wisdom, and brought it into harmony with the moral evi dences which surround and support revelation. THE DARWINIAN THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT. "Your strongest support and your subliruest aspirations were centred in this belief and hope that you were made to the image of God in Trinity. Scisace pretends to over throw this belief, and so deprive you of your most ennobling and consoling principle of life and action. No, if science, as now read by too many, says true, there was no time when God could have created man ; no moment in which He could have impressed on him His own divine image. The human race, according to this version, springs from some scarcely organised rudiment of matter, which gra dually went on, th rou g h mi llions of ages, unfolding its nhhiecr/l immediately preceded th e h uma n, pro v idin g —eor the man t h e mature d intelligence, for ex istence our ce inheritance —for mem o and po wers of life ; til l having passed through various brutish imp rovem ents, it reached the stage of ex gence, for the WOW = the ripened graces , of the ape, or the baboon. g 4 cod help us that many should h ave a ll owe d them selves to accep t such an Or i gin ; while a whole host of proofs ass i gn s to us th at of revelation; makes man the bonding li n k between u nthinking matter and the breath of God, i sentient, w hi c h made him Nay , which ma are Go made reasonin g , himimperish able.

"Answers, totally inadequate, have indeed appeared from other contending scholars, But from those who hold, by law, the office which St. Paul describes as so full of corrective energy, there has been no active demonstration of conscious• ness of possession ; no being instant in season and out of season ;' no efficacious reproving, entreating, rebuking in all patience and doctrine.' No synod has been convoked to condemn doctrines more false and fatal than those of Arius ; no sword of the Spirit drawn, if not to smite the blasphemers, to out out his infecting sore; no combined assertion of ' It hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us,' in fine, no decisive, irrevocable, authoritative decla ration or re-assertion of doctrine, on the two vital doe- trines of Scriptural inspiration, and the eternity of punish. meat. " May we not, therefore, conclude that this supposed I teaching body feels within itself that want of power to act outwardly, which instinct makes us feel, when in the pre sence of a wide chasm, that our frame would refuse to obey f this impelled us forward over it; and that our attempt to leap it must end in an ignominious fall P CHANCELLOR'S DECISION ABOUT ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. In fact so unreliant has it shown itself, now as ever before, on its own inborn, or Heaven granted, authority and suc cess, that this most solemn and purely religious controversy has passed into the hands of laymen, from the hall of the priests to the tribunal of Crosar. Now. this has given judg ment, with the minute discrimination, the careful sifting and the cold impartiality, which wcu'd have marked a de cision on a conveyance of property, or the transmission of a legacy. And what is remarkable indeed is that the judg ment has gone forth, as valid, and inconcussible, in spite of assessors impugning it, who belong to the highest order of religious teachers recognised by the State. " What is the consequence ? Why, practically that henceforth the inspiratioit of any proposed portion of Holy Scripture may be safely denied, within the pale of the na tional religious establishment, and thus falls what has been considered the pillar and ground work of its doctrine. " And so may any one, securoly, deny that eternal fire of the judgment to come, which is more effectual for converting sinners than the reading of God's word, which terrified Felix in bis powerful wickedness, and Simon Magus in his cun ning impiety. And in this way the great moral ground of divine fear is cut from under the feet of the unrepenting, who may now go on in their way rejoicing. i‘ When we see the foundations of revealed truth thus sapped and abandoned, after a short and ineffectual struggle, by those placed on its walls to defend them, must we not be anxious, and even weep ? Must we not feel dismayed at contemplating the gulph of infidelity towards which the bark, abandoned by its steersmen, is evidently drifting ? But still more, must we not speak out, believing as we d o, an d proclaim that to us is entrusted a true and terrible responsibility to uphold revealed doctrine. Must we not litt up our voice and protest, in the name of the Catholic Church, against any weak surrender of her sacred deposit, or any attempt to lessen it, by whomsoever made, and by whomsoever coincided in ? For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest.' THE RECEPTION OF GARIBALDI IN ENGLAND. " And now, a more recent occurrence leaves us no alterna native but to express our feelings—an occurrence which cannot but afflict us, as most humiliating to Christianity itself. For, although we may not allow any spiritual power or ecclesiastical claims to those who took part in it, yet we must fully recognise their high civil position and the influ ence of their example, and the force of deductions from it on the bulk of the nation, which recognises in them a still more exalted and sacred position. " Within these few weeks, a man of celebrity in his own country, only connected with this country by admiration on his side, and helpful co-operation with all his schemes here, paid England a visit. He was welcomed by many nobles with magnificence, and by multitudes with enthusiasm, With all this, we have nought to do. " We are often warned not to presume to give an opinion on public matters, as beyond the sphere or above the capaci ties of churchmen. We leave, therefore, the deserts of this man to more competent authorities. We leave the military character of one, who was made prisoner in battle against his own sovereign's troops, and who was wounded by a missile from his armoury, to those gallant men, who never paid such homage to a Napier or a Clyde, but who have ever considered that a soldier's loyalty and honour should be al; spotless and as highly burnished as his sword. We leave to our statesmen of every party to pronounce on the place to be accorded in their ranks, to one who to-day advocates and perpetrates the destruction of thrones, and gives public rewards for the attempted assassination of kings, and to morrow exhorts his fellow-subjects to reject the constitu tional Government of his country, and centre all autho rity in a despotic dictatorship. Bat one thing, at least, there is on which we have a right to judge, to feel, and to speak. Touch religious matters with scorn and blasphemy, speak contumaciously of what we most reverence and love; and you touch the very apple of our eye, and we have a right to cry aloud, with pain, perhaps with shame. " Some months before his visit, this soldier and states. man, assuming the highest possible position, addressed a letter ' To the Englis'i nation, dated September, 28, 1862. From it we extract the following passage :-- 44' The initiative that to-day belongs to you, might not be 5 ours to-morrow. May God avert this I Who more bravely took the initiative than France in 'B9 ? She, who in that solemn moment gave to the world the Geddes, Reason, levelled tyranny to the dust, and consecrated free brother hood between nations. After almost a century she is re duced to combat the liberty of n ations, to pretal tyranny, and to direct her only efforts to steady on the ruins of the Temple of Reason, that hideous imr,oral monstrosity, the Papacy.'" Many of you doubtless know what France, drunk with the spirit of irreligion and di , loyalty, did to inaugurate the Goddess of Reason, and give her solemnly to the world. To those who do not, it may StlffiGi to say, that whatever the Prophet and our Lord meant by the abomination of deso lation, standing in the holy place' this expression was veri fied most literally. Tho triumph of rationality over Chris tianity was symbolised by a hideous, immoral, monstro sity,' detestable to be described. " This representation by an act of sacrilegious solemnity of the victory of reason over revelation, was thus eulogized in an address to the British nation, by the man to whom it is said English ladies knelt. Be it so. The French nation was extolled for that obscene worship, and is reprobated for having repented of its foolish wickedness. And in confor mity with this praise and this blame must the religion of its utterer be considered to stand. "Not in the common crowd, not mingled with Dissenting ministers, in the general levees, but standing apart, elabo rately separated, were the leaders, we will not say, the re presentatives, of the Anglican clergy. Three and three from each highest class of the national hierarchy came for ward, not as statesmen, not as soldiers, not as worldlings— but therefore as priests and bishops—to greet the man who has preached to them doctrines, and applauded to them practices, far beyond those in wickedness, to the proclaimers of which the Word of God forbids us to say • God speed you.' With one hand grasping the right hand of him who had called on them, indirectly at least, to install the God dess Reason on the altars of their ministers—for this was what France did—with the other feebly condemniug the doctrines of that Goddess. " Oh, pity, pity I at least, if not worse, that such a spectacle should have been exhibited to England, at the time, the moment, when every energy of every hand should be put forth, not to dally with, but to crush, the spirit, how ever embodied, of infidelity as well as disloyalty I "And now, dearly beloved, must not we who value consistent truth—revealed truth, apostolic truth, the truth that rests on the teaching of the Church—boldly assert our rights to teach it, however others may either vacillate or shrink in its plain delivery ? We stand on our own ground here, within our own holy place. And we ask you to co operate with us in our effort this day to multiply the num ber of those churches and schools into which the spirit of irreligion will never creep, nor any tampering be allowed with the faith of our fathers."

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in proposing " The Prosperity of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, ex pressed his sincere and deep regret at the recent loss the regiment and country had sustained by the death of Colonel Bingham,—a regret he was sure all those present must share. He looked upon his untimely death as a national lose, and he did not believe the Sovereign had a more zealous or able servant than their lamented friend. The company broke up at 11 o'clock,
